Another Day, Another Dollar

Well, Saturday mornings are terribly at Imo's. They can be extremely boring at times. But hey, another day, another dollar, right? Too bad I was completely drained from the night before, and here's why. Last night, the fire alarm went off a total of 8 times. It was ridiculous! I had missed the first few alarms because I had gone to the movies with my roommate and our friend from across the hall. When I made it back to the dorms, I noticed that everyone was standing outside the building. I spotted one of my friends and asked what was up. He said, "Man, this is the third fire alarm tonight!" I was like, "are you serious?" He's like, "no joke". Someone had to have been really bored and really stupid.... or something was wrong with the system. Anyway, about 2 minutes later, after just making it up to my friends room, the alarm went off again. We all go back outside and stand for a few minutes. I decide to my friend James' room for about 1/2 an hour. I swear, right after I walked out, it went off again. I was like, "are you kidding me?" I go back outside again. Finally I make it back up the steps and right after reaching the top step, it goes off again. I turned right back around. This time, I was in my friend Maria's room talking to my gurl Vickie. I swear, no more than 5 minutes had passed and it went off again. That was the last time I went outside. After that alarm, I decided to go to my room and change into my night clothes , which consisted of my baby's sweat pants and my t-shirt. After I changed, I went back to Maria's room and the alarm went off again. I told them, "this is ridiculous" and started heading down the steps. However, it stopped going off before I even made it to the steps. Then, I began to get a little sleepy and proceeded back to my room. I believe I had been in there for about an hour, and it went off again @ 1:00. This time, I turned out all of the lights in my room, and laid down. Next thing I knew my roommate was back. I swear we hadn't been laying down for more than 1/2 an hour and the last one went off around 2:oo or 2:30 a.m. Someone came and knocked on our door, but I knew it had to be one of the RA's so we just kept quiet and didn't answer. Otherwise, I'm sure we would've been in trouble for not going down all 8 TIMES! Whatever. It was late and I had to work in the morning. I didn't have time to play games. So anyway, that's my story on why I was so incredibly tired.
